Tooling for group self-awareness on holochain

Background

Groups, especially remote colaborative groups, often lack contextual information about collaborators that makes working together harder. Co-locating oneself across a number of spaces in the context of a group (or groups) provides an important avenue for improving both sense-making and working together. Where provides a generalized pattern for creating shared maps for groups to see the emergent "whereness" of each other across self-evolved sets of maps.

Installation

1. Install the holochain dev environment: https://developer.holochain.org/docs/install/
2. Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/holochain/where && cd ./where
3. Enter the nix shell: nix-shell

Building the DNA

• Build the DNA (assumes you are still in the nix shell for correct rust/cargo versions from step above):

  • Assemble the DNA:

  make build

UI

To test out the UI first start your conductor with:

hc s gen -r=8888 -a where
    ```
Then you can run the UI with:
